response to a starry night (or whatever it's called)

I didn't really hate this poem, it really made me have to think about the meaning. although it looked like i was spacing out during the class discussion i wasn't and it really helped me to understand the poem better. i personally think that the line, "oh starry, starry night this is how i want to die" could go either way, positive or negative. some people will say oh my god what a suicidal maniac. others will say she is just thinking that that would be a nice place to die. i also really liked the last stanza, probably because i didn't know what it meant. still as i am writing this response i have no idea what she meant by this beast of the night. by the no flag i think she means that dieing removes the country flag you have on yourself and you just die with no allegiance.
